Oh they’re going to need salvation.

Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.

This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.

Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them. 

It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.

Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.

“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!

To my American followers. Don’t support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but I’ve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please don’t donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people

Never don’t reblog.

To be clear: this is specific to America. It is not necessarily going to be true for all countries. Please don’t boycott your own salvos without proper investigation: in many countries they do good work.

Sorry but no, the Salvation Army was founded in the UK and even there still are homophobic as hell, to the point that they still refuse to let out gay people hold positions of power in the organisation. This is a callout for the whole group, not just the US. - Purple

AND Canadian salvation army is just as bad! the whole organization is rotten from the core! Canadians are not immune to bad organizations!

Reblog to continue the violent hate against the Salvation Army.

I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like: 

“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum. 

“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco? 

“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?

Hey rb this!!!

@chitratxt​

systems to run and play outside of dungeons and dragons/pathfinder that are BEGINNER FRIENDLY and STORY-FOCUSED:

MASKS: A NEW GENERATION (powered by the apocalypse engine, 2d6 core resolution): Play as teenaged superheroes! Emulate the feel of a comic book or animated TV series like Young Justice, Teen Titans, etc. DEATH IS NOT A STAKE (unless you’re The Doomed): emotional trauma is instead! FAST, narratively driven combat; complex antagonists; sessions structured by “scenes” instead of encounters to encourage roleplaying and story above all else! Perfect for folks who love superhero stories, exploring adolescent angst, and colorful combat.

URBAN SHADOWS 1E (powered by the apocalypse engine, 2d6 core resolution): A political urban fantasy game about the debts you owe, and the lengths you’re willing to go to seize power in a seedy city. Think Mortal Instruments, Twilight, etc. Play as a werewolf, vampire, hunter, wizard, etc. all vying for power. A corruption mechanic encourages backstabbing and betrayal between PCs, with the hanging sword of PCs who go too far retiring as NPC threats. Perfect for evil parties and social intrigue-heavy campaigns.

QUEST (d20 core resolution): A fantasy, medieval-suited but genre-expansive system that can replace D&D pretty fluidly, and makes for an easy transition from one system to another. No stats, only features that classes can invoke at will or with a single, unmodified d20 roll. All PCs have the same health and deal the same base damage, making combat a breeze, freeing the GM up to focus on the story. A sliding scale of success from 1 to 20 instead of a binary pass/fail like D&D!

These are just a few systems I’ve either played and/or have run, and can recommend based on my personal experience. Either way, it’s worth looking into other systems to improve and expand your own GMing chops for D&D if nothing else.

Other TTRPG systems you should check out that I don’t have the time to delve into right now: Monster of the Week (PBTA like above, 2d6 core resolution, emulate the feel of an episodic monster hunting show like Supernatural, Buffy, etc.), Numenera (complex system comparable in scope to D&D), Fiasco (GMless, improv only, card based, over the top Coen Brothers movie generator), Root RPG (play as woodland creatures!), Bluebeard’s Bride (play as different aspects of the same woman surviving a murderous pirate!), Vampire: The Masquerade (play as scheming vampires fighting back your thirst!), Call of Cthulhu (classic eldritch horror TTRPG), Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall (play as a Chinese immigrant family fighting racism and hopping vampires!), Ald-Amura: Monster Care Squad (HEAL monsters instead of kill them; threat clocks advance the story); Star-Crossed (2-player, GMless, Jenga tower based game about forbidden love, PERFECT for couples), Dread (Jenga tower based horror system), City of Mist (similar to Urban Shadows — gritty modern fantasy), and more!!

Check out these systems, and recommend more in the replies!

I am reblogging this because it is useful! But also, just as a clarification:  Bluebeard’s Bride isn’t about a woman surviving a murderous pirate. It’s about a woman surviving an abusive relationship, and the mechanics, while simple, are very explicit about this. It’s a good game, but in the same way a documentary on abuse is good rather then a normal RPG.  I very much wouldn’t recommend it for beginners, and definitely wouldn’t recommend it without full knowledge of the themes. So I thought I’d just clarify for safety reasons- it is not a game about surviving a murderous pirate, at least not in the Wacky Horror Sense you might expect from that. Sorry for the killjoy response! Have some cool systems! -Mod  Pencil

An old post but reblogging with this clarification. This is very true. Probably should’ve worded my original post better given that I literally do paid GMing sessions for the company that makes Bluebeard’s Bride.

Also yes to the suggestions of Monsterhearts / MH2 in the comments! MH can be very, um, intense as well, and emotionally volatile. There’s literally a “sex” mechanic in a game about primarily teenagers.

As a general rule: do your proper research before playing a new system and/or bringing it to your friends or strangers to test it out for the first time. This list is a starting point — that’s it. I encourage folks to do their own Googling and digging around about systems when looking for new games to try!

Highly recommend Kids on Bikes as well. It's extremely pick up and play (you can learn the whole system and roll a character in a matter of minutes), and it makes a point of encouraging collaborative storytelling and ensuring everyone is comfortable and having fun. And don't be fooled by the title! The game works just as well with adult characters as it does with juvenile ones.

Hey guys

it’s been awhile but it’s a bit of an emergency, today I was paid and rent was due. I was supposed to have extra income but because my younger brother was shorted on hours at work, I ended up having to cover almost the entire cost. It’s left me with 3 dollars in account and other bills to pay and food still to buy. Even if you can’t directly assist, just reblogging would be a big help. Thank you so much in advance to everyone who helps!!

You guys have been amazing, I’ve gotten enough to cover the power bill I needed to pay, I am just looking for some more help in affording groceries for the next week until we have more money come in.

You guys are amazing, and anything at all is appreciated!

A little more info, since some have asked. I have had to dip into my savings to try and cover us for the last few weeks. But that has been used up since, especially with this last rent payment. It took all but $3 I had from my last paycheck to cover this months rent. We’ve been struggling to make the ends meet, for groceries and what not.

We have gotten so much help from you folks, but we still need a bit more, anything at all to help us get by if it can be spared. Reblogs, even the smallest donation makes all the different, and I’d be so grateful.

I’m starting a reblog-and-tag game

Make yourself with this picrew (made by the awesome @sangled) and tag up to 8 people! I’ll start

I was tagged too ^.^ by my lovely wife
